Bahrain's American Mission Hospital (AMH) has signed a first-phase deal with the world's number one healthcare facility, Mayo Clinic, US, to align its development strategy alongside Mayo’ s Patient First Always strategy.

The strategy aims to develop quality, leadership and governance on the road to become an affiliate Mayo partner in Bahrain.

AMH's new King Hamad American Mission Hospital (KHAMH) will be the focus of this partnership that has evolved from a 120-year history of service to the people of Bahrain, said AMH.

The new 125-bed hospital was inaugurated on behalf of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, on January 26.
